[在孩子的世界，担心，害怕是他们压力的反应，这是成长过程中必然面对的。我们不希望孩子抗拒，排斥压力，而是希望孩子可以认识另一个生命中重要的方法~~放松。In a child's eyes, worry and fear is their reaction to stress & pressure. But all these are whats life is made off, everyone goes through it. We do not wish that our children will avoid and reject stress, we hope they will learn to know another important component of life - "Calm yourself".

小压没有放松方法很难独立成长，小松没有目标也很难独立成长。 所以小压与小松需要一起共行，勇敢地面对成长过程，让快乐与爱从心中开始发芽。Lil Stress will not grow if he cannot find the the way to calm himself down. Lil Relax will not succeed if he cannot find his aims & directions. That's why, Lil Stress & Lil Relax need to work together. Be brave and confront these paths of life and you will grow. Let happiness & love grow from your heart. ]

no, not the typical "mat kool mat kool kawan kuuuu!".the old ice cream, with his bike and a bell that going "tingling-a ling- a ling-a ling"he din sell cornetto or drumstick all that jazz.it was icecream.jagungyamstrawberryvanillachocolateon plastic-like cones or even with bread!THAT ice cream man.

i remember when amah was still around, we'd go walk in Tanjung Emas Muar.How ice cream melts so fast I usually only manage to eat half of them.How the wind would blow in your hair while a bunch of young teens would ride along the coast with their bikes.How the apek uncles would be fishing by the side and I'd spy on them, wondering what the heck would still be alive in that dirty water.Amah Yehyeh always did shower us with love & care.Nonetheless, we weren't necessarily spoilt (ok.. maybe just a little)but we learn to appreciate, love, forgive & respect.Family comes 1st.always.

That's what I got from her the most.Family trips.How she loved them.We'd make it a point to travel every year, the whole ching-bang of a family.from my aunts, to my uncles, cousins & siblings.Even the ones that are not in Malaysia.Trips like these always cheers her up.

My grandmother was a very poise lady.From her cursive writing, her calligraphy, details in her crafts and cross-stitch, even to the way she precisely pronounced her English.But she is also bold and daring, sporting and most of all loving.I remember my grandmother drinking Tiger Beers & Ngan Yin groundnuts during one of our gatherings.wow... boy oh boy.... she is amazing.

Our family trips always had a lot of people.we're a huge family!we could easily pao 1 whole floor or 1 whole apartment of 5-6 rooms for our trips.and every night, we'd bring beer, junk food & snacks over to the HQ room.where the adults drink and chat, and the kids ... well... we played. :Pthose were the days.

endearing and heart warming.family dinners are worth rushing back to.family trips are worth making time for.family are people who'd never turn their backs on you.

Remember all the things we wantedNow all our memories, they're hauntedWe were always meant to say goodbyeEven with our fists held highIt never would have worked out right, yeahWe were never meant for do or die...

I didn't want us to burn outI didn't come here to hurt you now I can't stop...

I want you to knowIt doesn't matter where we take this roadSomeone's gotta goAnd I want you to knowYou couldn't have loved me betterBut I want you to move onSo I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harderBut I know that you'll find anotherThat doesn't always make you wanna cry

It started with the perfect kiss thenWe could feel the poison set in"Perfect" couldn't keep this love aliveYou know that I love you soI love you enough to let you go

I want you to knowIt doesn't matter where we take this roadSomeone's gotta goAnd I want you to knowYou couldn't have loved me betterBut I want you to move onSo I'm already gone

转变changes

These days, some songs brings me into perspective.They calm me and sooth me.*breathe*

Just sharing some good tunes.

词曲：黄康淇主唱：黄康淇 小提琴：Lim Hui制作/编曲/配唱/混音：三明治OP: Pigeon House Production

我曾经悲伤 见到美好一天落幕I was sadden, seeing some so beautiful come to an end.我还会犹豫 好与坏如何看清楚I still doubt, if i cant differentiate the difference between the good and the bad.原来这些都像 云一般会飘过But actually all these will float by just like the flying clouds.转眼化成了雨 回归了大地In a blink of an eye, they will become rain, coming back full circle to the ground.

我曾经失落 当梦想变成了泡沫I was depressed, when dreams became nothing but mere fantasies.我还会疑惑 快乐后又回到落寞I still struggle with the transitions from happiness to emptiness原来这些就像 春天盛开的花But all these are like flowers blooming in spring time转眼在冬天化成了雪 反照了内心In a blink of an eye, winter comes and so does snow, reflecting your thoughts and your heart.

~~~~

我在生活中 明白许多还不够In my life, i understand a lot of things are "never enough"生命会有起落 欢乐后又悲伤There will always be ups and downs ; happiness & sadness.当我开始学习看开 从大地学会自在When I learn to take a step back and let go, I start to feel freedom.明白了 终究在 两个极端中 找不到自己Understand that, we can't find our self in between 2 extremes.可是我在生活中 明白这些还不够But in my life, i understand all these are "never enough"生命会有巨浪 将我再一次沉没Life will always have huge waves, attempting to drown and sink me in.但我相信人生是有原因 开始在呼吸间寻找But I'll believe that all these challenges in life will serve a purpose,breathe...and you will find them.生命在手心间伸展出翅膀 学习去飞翔Life, in your hands, will stretch its wings...and learn to fly.

~~~~

紧握是执著，放开是自在，Holding on too tightly, by letting go you'll find comfort,转换心念则转变人生，视透人生的悲欢起落，A change of perspective and mindset will change your life, looking through life in all its changes,我听到自在的生命在声声呼唤I can hear peace & freedom call me.

ever walked down a long road, and fall into a pit hurting yourself?i did.

ever since then, you wouldn't dare wander off onto any roads alone again.you wouldn't dare to ever TRY and skip around an unfamiliar path.after a few rounds, kinda kill u inside.you wouldn't dare to have fun; take a risk anymore.

if you know there's gonna be a pit in front.and you know you can never ever ever go past it.no matter how you've tried to patch it up or use a rope or build a bridge.soon... you jus dun even wanna use that road anymore.
